Thunderbird Club

[MCF]

For me, many things will have to come together (personal and professional). But if I can, I'll be there with melons on.

It would be great if you could fly in. I’m going to work on the calendar tomorrow to do what I can to make it. Maybe bring the ‘15 and the ‘21 NR. And perhaps the Short Scale.

 

[MCF]

Absolutely your call V.
I care more about you and the people.

I want to meet everyone and have some laughs. But someone bringing a Bicentennial would be cool….

Hey CP owners, I'm curious to know what you've done to yours regarding tone/growl enhancements? As simple as strings, if so what do you recommend? I have a TC Spark at practice I can try on Wednesday, the Phat Phuk B I have at home didn't bring out much growl. Has anyone tried Probuckers or Chinabuckers?

I plan on trying to make it up as well, even if only for a day. The only hitch is we might be in the middle of a home sale at that time, if so I’ll need to stay here. However, if I can’t make it I might be able to hand off a couple of basses to someone that’s going up. Im thinking the BlingBird and my modded Goth would be the two I’d take, and possibly my GK 210 combo.

Hadn't thought about the new NR......Hmmmm. There's Subaru involved so maybe.

Never had a Gibson Thunderbird bass yet... maybe some day. But I did have some fun creating my own Nikki Sixx "White Bird" out of an Epiphone limited edition custom shop bass. Doing some cosmetic work along with a swap to EMG for better tone. I also made sure not to remove the neckplate and rear headstock stamp so nobody will think that I am trying to scam or create something that it isn't. Of course I also can't ever sell it as nobody would want this clone either. I just couldn't do this to a Gibson. Someday I will get a real TB and join the club but just wanted to share the fun I had when I made this bass years ago and still have it :

should I recruit some musicians for like an open mic?
as far as amps there will be an SVT fridge (4x10 and 1 x 15) an Ashdown rig (4 x 8 and 1 x 15) a MarkBass rig (2 x 12) and a Prometheus rig (2 x 10)….. oh and bring your bathing suits..

i dig it, and Epiphones are nice basses and it's more than enough cred, let me know if you'd like a club number.

Now there’s a scary thought.

Now that would be icing on the cake if you were able to make it.
